I was not impressed by Belgariad.
I found it way too simple, naive, very young adult type fantasy.
He is a great fantasy author for kids and teenagers to get them into fantasy (10-15 years old). However, if you read him for the first time when you are older, after you have read a lot of other fantasy works then it is meh...
If I am not mistaken, The Belgariad was rebranded kid's fiction. Which suits it quite well  |
Forgive me to write in because I know nothing of this author but what language did he write in originally? And in which language have you read those Astra lestat?
It kind or reaches my 'beef' with translators. I suspect that in this case he might have embellished Belgariad's stories.
